Additional Bows

The shortbow is a variation of the composite’s stats, offering a quicker pull by trading away power and range. The lever bow is a modern bow that offers the assisted power of a compound bow with the more consistent draw of a recurve, thus offering a great deal of power with a smooth draw.
